Life With A Hedgehog 2.0

Life With A Hedgehog 2.0

So it's officially been four and a half months since Sir Charles came into my life.

I haven't been able to spend a lot of quality time with him since I've been at college but my family has kept me updated.

I've been asked many times at school what a hedgehog eats and in case you were wondering, they eat dry cat food. He also gets so so excite when you give him one of those crinkle cat ball toys. Those are his absolute favorite.

Every time I come home I take the opportunity to have a mini photo shoot with him. How can you not? He's so adorable!

Hedgehogs are nocturnal, so they're more active at night time. My mom has told me that he makes some really odd noises at night and I just heard recently heard them for the first time. He kind of sounds like a mix between a guinea pig and a hyena, but he's so cute that he makes up for it.

Charlie doesn't like when my dogs bark and he shows it by curling up into a little ball and making hissing noises. He's getting better at not letting their barks bother him but he still gets nervous sometimes. If you try and pet him while his spikes are up, be careful! He's as prickly as he looks. But despite that fact, he's absolutely the cutest little thing and I wouldn't trade him for anything except maybe like a million dollars. (just kidding Charlie!)

Thanks for reading! Sir Charles is doing really well in his new home and I'll keep you all updated (:

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
